Carhartt WIP is bulking up for the cold

Carhartt WIP just told winter to bring it on. The new Fall/Winter 2026 collection comes straight from digging through the brand’s archive, reworked in heavier fabrics, thicker padding and more layers than you’ll know what to do with. 

The new OG Trucker Jacket is a loose, dropped-shoulder take on the classic Type-III jacket, keeping the pointed collar and chest flap pockets that made the original recognisable. The Stanwood Jacket takes the house’s Detroit Jacket and makes it properly technical, adding midweight padding and a water-repellent nylon shell for anyone who actually needs it to work.

Their denim is going heavier and harder. The Oakland Shirt Jacket and matching trousers come in a rinsed finish with paneling borrowed from an old knee-pad construction, while the new Payson Pant uses a marble wash that gives it a salt-and-pepper, whiskered look.

There’s a strong tactile theme running through the rest of the collection, as it spans flannel shirts, striped rugby polos, corduroy trousers, and fuzzy brushed knits like the Curtis Sweater Jacket. The Atoka range pushes that further with a wool, structured fabric and a new black-and-grey Square Label.

On the field-jacket side, a new camo print called “camo feather tree” reworks a classic Realtree design with feather detailing scattered across black, showing up on jackets, cargo pants and bags. The Quentin Jacket takes a heritage field jacket shape and gives it a boxier, more modern fit in nylon canvas with a corduroy collar, and the Orman Bomber reworks the classic MA-2 shape in a worn-in, overdyed finish.

For the coldest stretch of the season, a run of new outerwear takes things to their heaviest. The line includes the Arizona Jacket in artificial leather, the padded Women’s Rayler Jacket, the down-filled Ardon Jacket in ripstop nylon, and the Boreal Parka, a reworked Siberian Parka in heavyweight Dearborn Canvas with a diamond-quilted lining.
